hope is not matte.

Same. I'll preorder this one none the less as its far better than the last Zavvi steel. I really hope is glossed (or atleast heavily spot glossed) with a debossed title like the USA version.

Anyone else feel the mock-up looks a bit dull/washed out? I like the art, but it could do with being a little brighter IMO.

Original vs brightened...

I don't mind it as is but definitely looks better with it being brighter

I like it anyway but you’ve definitely just improved it

The Best Buy version is somewhere between those 2, if viewed under very bright light. In any light it looks good to me.

I'm really not liking these 4k Steelbook designs
Frozen has been the best one so far

The Best Buy US version of this steelbook was really nice IMO with debossed title and gloss finish....assuming this will be identical, it should look good in hand...

I hope so, but honestly it's more than likely that it'll be spot glossed instead. Atleast we won't have the 'signature collection' stamp hard printed on the front though.

Is it just me or does that front art not really look like Ariel at all? She's also missing any detailing on her body, seems to have forgotten about needing a bellybutton, bust and collarbone.

At least the artwork by Paige O'Hara is more fun than this ...

... as well as being controversy free unlike the VHS cover:-

Yeah I've sold my old Zavvi steel and US 4k amaray in favour of this release. I appreciate a classic poster on a steelbook, but a poor finish and essentially no artwork on the rear/interior has always made it the worst disney steel in my collection.

Interesting that Zavvi's listing shows this as region "B". I realize that the 4K disc will be Region "Free" but that's odd that the Blu-ray disc would be region "B". The Mondo X SteelBook shows as Region "Free."

Possibly just an error in Zavvi's listing?

Quite possibly. Their listings for the upcoming 4K releases of Beauty and the Beast, Mulan and Moana are all the same. But I've checked my existing blu-rays of those titles and they are all region free.

 

[samdavies]

It'll be the same old disc, it wouldn't be unusual for a retailer to list region B as default on a UK release. I wouldn't read into it.
